2. Hearing conservation program - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hearing_conservation_program

   Noise Monitoring: 29 CFR 1910.95(d) requires that monitoring be conducted when "any employee's exposure may equal or exceed an 8-hour time-weighted average of 85 decibels. Audiometric Testing: 29 CFR 1910.95(g) requires an "audiometric testing program" for "all employees whose exposures equal or exceed an 8-hour time-weighted average of 85 ...

3. Occupational noise - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Occupational_noise

   Noise may also act synergistically with other hazards to increase the risk of harm to workers. In particular, toxic materials (e.g., some solvents, metals, asphyxiants and pesticides) have some ototoxic properties that may affect hearing function. Modern thinking in occupational safety and health further identifies noise as hazardous to workers ...

4. Noise-induced hearing loss - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Noise-induced_hearing_loss

   In the United States, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) describes standards for occupational noise exposure in articles 1910.95 and 1926.52. OSHA states that an employer must implement hearing conservation programs for employees if the noise level of the workplace is equal to or above 85 dB(A) for an averaged eight-hour ...

5. Hearing protection device - Wikipedia

   Occupational Safety and Health Administration (1983; 29 CFR 1910.95 [8]) requires the use of HPDs in occupational settings when the noise exposure levels are equal to or above an 8-hour time-weighted average of 90 dB-A.

6. Noise dosimeter - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Noise_dosimeter

   A noise or sound dose is the amount of sound a person is exposed to in a day. The dose is represented by a percentage. A noise dose of 100% means that a person has exceeded the permissible amount of noise. Any noise exposure after the 100% noise dose may damage hearing. The exchange rate is the rate at which exposure accumulates.

7. Occupational hearing loss - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Occupational_hearing_loss

   In order to test hearing loss, audiometers are used to and are adjusted to American National Standards Institute (ANSI) regulations. The Occupation and Safety Health Association (OSHA) of the United States of America requires a program that conserves hearing when noise levels are greater than 85 dB. [citation needed]
